********OFF TOPIC: RE PORTLAND SCHOOL FOR WAYWARD GIRLS********

This is where girls went when they got pregnant in the Eisenhower days.

Chaz, do you remember those "50's dances" that were popular a few years ago? Never could understand all that 50's nostalgia! How could anyone be nostalgic for that era?

....The sirens going off during the air-raid drills.
....The debates in high-toned magazines like The Partisan Review over such questions as "Should We Save Western Civilization By Dropping the Atom Bomb?" (I am not making that up.)
.....Joe McCarthy and his "ilk".
.....The obligatory high heels (ouch), the veils that one's eyelashes got stuck in, the girdles!
.....The bright girls who knitted during philosophy class, so as to prepare themselves for wifelihood. (Bryn Mawr memories.)
.....Etc., etc., etc....
